Oma's Workout with Reef

Yesterday Oma was lucky enough to have Reef Indy for an hour while mom ran a quick errand. Unfortunately Reef was tired and cranky. Also this was an unexpected visit and Oma had not worked-out on the treadmill yet. 
 
MapMyWalk is a fitness tracking application that enables you to use the built-in GPS of your mobile device to track all of your fitness activities.
The perfect solution cumulated. Oma activated her “MapMyWalk” app on her iPhone and put the fussy baby in the stroller. (MapMyWalk is a fitness tracking application that enables you to use the built-in GPS of your mobile device to track all of your fitness activities & it is free!)

Then Oma briskly walked laps around her driveway. Reef quieted right down as the motion soothed him. By the half mile marker, he was fast asleep.

Oma was able to mollify Reef and get a mile walk in all at the same time! Further, it was great to do the workout in the fresh air of sunny Southern California. More importantly, Reef settled in for a morning nap without protest.

Oma will remember this trick for further Reef visits!

DAYBOX Extra-Large Weekly Pill Box
Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 


Oma was pleased to be offered the opportunity to receive and review several products made by Sabi. This is review four of four.

Sabi is a Japanese noun describing “cultural aesthetic inspired by the notion that life's imperfections are what make it beautiful”



The DAYBOX pill box is Sabi's largest pill box, a weekly pill organizer for medication management featuring eight pill boxes, each inscribed with the day of the week (plus one extra!); and each with three extra-spacious pill box compartments, suitable for storing a large number of large-sized pills, vitamins and supplements. 

The eight individual daily pill boxes clip together to form a beautiful weekly pill box and easily detach so you can tote with you one daily pill box at a time.

Oma is impressed with the thought and planning that went into the design of the DAYBOX pill box.  However, Oma is currently not taking any medication nor vitamins, she has no need for this medication management system.  However, it would come in handy for anyone on a medicine regiment.

CHOP Minimal Effort Pill Cutter
Review.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 


Oma was pleased to be offered the opportunity to receive and review several products made by Sabi. This is review two of four.

Sabi is a Japanese noun describing “cultural aesthetic inspired by the notion that life's imperfections are what make it beautiful”




Different people split pills for different reasons: some pills, especially daily vitamin supplements, are so large that they can be difficult to swallow whole. Oftentimes, pills come in only one high dosage version and you need to halve or quarter them to get a lower dose. Others split pills because it’s more cost effective, since higher-dosage pills frequently cost the same as lower-dosage ones.

This product came just in time for us.  Opa has a supply of pills and his dosage was recently cut in half. It seems so wasteful to toss the pills with the higher dosage.  Again this Sabi product was well made, sturdy and worked really well.  It really did require just "Minimal Effort!" Oma loves the fact that the Pill Cutter is adjustable to accomodate all pill types

Product Features:

  • Weight: 34 g/1.2 oz
  • Dimensions: H: 50 mm x W: 55 mm x D: 38 mm/H: 2 in x W: 2.2 in x D: 2.2 in
  • Ultra-safe and effective, durable plastic poly (PCTA) blade
  • Pill splitter's specialized inset rubber impressions stabilize pills of all sizes and shapes
  • Light press pill splitter mechanism distributes weight applied to cap evenly
  • Easy on hands/wrists no matter “hardness” of pill material
  • Halves and quarters pills cleanly and precisely to ensure accurate dosage
  • Slip-preventing rubber base
  • BPA-free

This product works best with larger, oblong-shaped pills. May not quarter spherical or smaller pills accurately.
